What is micro channeling and how does it work?

​

Micro channeling, also known as micro-needling, is a non-invasive facial treatment that involves the use of a device equipped with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin heals, it becomes rejuvenated, leading to improved texture, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance. Additionally, the micro-channels created during the treatment allow for better absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

​

Is microchanneling suitable for all skin types?

​

Micro-channeling is generally safe and suitable for a wide range of skin types. However, it's crucial to consult with a trained skincare professional before undergoing the treatment. They can assess your skin's condition and determine if microchanneling is the right option for you. Individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, open wounds, or infections, may need to postpone the treatment until their skin has healed. A professional will customize the treatment plan and needle depth based on your skin's unique characteristics to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks.

​

 What can I expect during and after a micro-channeling facial?

​

During a micro-channeling facial, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself involves the device gliding over the skin, creating micro-channels. You may feel a sensation similar to light sandpaper being rubbed on your skin. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel mildly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside within a day or two. Over the next few days, you might experience some peeling and flaking as the skin regenerates. It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using gentle skincare products. Results gradually become visible as your skin's collagen production improves, with optimal outcomes often seen after a series of sessions.
